Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a binary-coding section, a removing section and a signal generating section. The binary-coding section binary-codes a plurality of color component signals color by color. The removing section removes minor color components from the color component signals, and the generating section generates record color signal by using both a color component signal left after removing the minor color components and the color component signals before binary-coding.
